New Mexico Repairs and habitability remedies

What can a tenant do if the landlord won't make repairs in New Mexico?

Rent abatement: after written notice of required repairs, if the owner doesn't fix them within 7 days, the resident may abate one-third of the daily rent until fixed, or 100% if the unit is uninhabitable and the resident moves out because of it.
